Cherokee Indians: We are free to oust blacks
---
soule: definition of "treaty": an agreement made by negotiation or diplomacy esp. between two or more states or governments - Merriam-Webster's Dictionary
How can the Cherokee Nation negate Indian citizenship for 2800 Blacks after they [Cherokee Nation] consented to the Treaty of 1866 in which they agreed that these folks be granted tribal citizenship and entitled to Indian benefits?
The 2800 Blacks have every right to hire an attorney to fight this.
On the other hand, since when have we had a group of people granting citizenship to another group? I thought we only had one entity in this country that officially granted the right to citizenship....the federal government.
